We are pleased to offer FREE membership for students.

Offering free membership to full time students nurtures future museum professionals and engages them in our professional community, and it supports VAM's mission.

Student members enjoy the following benefits:

Access to members-only areas of VAM's website, including:

VAM Voice member news magazines and VAM White Papers

Career Center resources

Advocacy resources

Invitations to networking mixers

Discounts on VAM workshops

Discount on the VAM Annual Conference

Student membership is for full-time students only; graduating students may consider converting to an individual membership to post their resumes in VAM's Career Center, or to sign up for a Resume Review. VAM requires a current student ID or a letter from a professor on university letterhead to confirm student status - be ready to upload a .pdf or a .jpg when you join. Students interested in registering for the Virginia Certificate in Museum Management must first upgrade to an Individual membership.

We have over 2,000 members, including individuals, businesses, and member organizations, ranging from historic houses to botanical gardens, aquariums, zoos, children’s museums, historical societies, art museums and galleries, battlefields, military museums, and more.
